Playa Pedregal

International > N America > Mexico > Baja California… > Playa Pedregal y Fin…

Description

The long beach that sits directly below the Pedregal neighborhood of large mansions. The east end has the most rock, while the far west end is away from people, resorts, and just a golf course.

Getting There

Either traverse over from Solmar beach under the restaurant wall (sketchy and have to be aware of waves), or take a cab over to the few resorts above the beach and walk down.

Some of the many options in the West end sector, sitting below expensive homes.

The sea has claimed like .5 meters of sand (2023). All starts more difficult now.

[Hide Comment] We found the boulder on the east side of the beach. We had a rental car and the gate guard allowed us a visitor pass to playa pedregal. You have to drive through a large hill full of mansions before reaching the beach. Unfortunately we arrived late afternoon during high tide and the boulder was being smashed by huge shore break.

[Hide Comment] I visited here on January 2023, the sea had claimed like .5 meters of sand, making the boulders harder as the start is now lower. Even in low tide the sea is always washing the rock, making it very difficult to start with dried shoes. Feb 27, 2023
